Good evening gentleman, just purchased an inexpensive safety razor along w/a 3 pc.set of shave soap from Walgreens. The razor appears similar to what my granddaddy use to use. I must need some practice, the first shave although effective, ultimately proved pretty painful...lol.

Shaved the other night and it went well. Very close indeed! Also shaved my neck, which I had strayed away from during my 5-blade era because I would always get razorburn and break out, so I would use an electric razor to mitigate. But no adverse reaction this time using the safety razor! I recommend one for anyone having similar issues!

Thanks, Niles. Here's the safety razor I bought (it's a Weishi) to go with my grandfather's shaving kit. He had a bronze 2-blade razor with this kit. Just opened it yesterday and I've only ventured as far as shaving my cheeks so far. Very different from the 5-blade Gillette I'd been using--nicked myself a few times--but it feels like a much closer shave!

Hello gents, I just bought my first safety razor from Amazon. Five-blade razors give me razorburn plus I'm prone to ingrown hairs, so I hope it works out for me. Also looking forward to the lower cost of razor replacement.
